A Deep Storyline Focus

Experience a highly non-linear RPG from an independent development studio with a sprawling storyline. You commence as a modest protagonist, lost in an unfamiliar world... As you struggle to find a way back home, you uncover an increasingly malevolent and time-twisted plot to devour the ancient creatures of Terra. You must confront this corrupted power to save Terra and ultimately, yourself.

Complex Role Playing – Explore a vast RPG where the decisions you make change the world around you. Will you gather and trade the Ancient Elven Relics for a Dorian ship, or trek through the uncharted depths of the Woods of Despair? By virtue of the choices available in Last Dream, there are over five hundred unique paths in your journey through the mystical land of Terra.

Tremendous Replayability – Last Dream allows the freedom to choose any 4-character party you wish from 8 distinctive character classes. With over 4,000 party variations, you’ll never run out of new experiences. In addition to myriad party combinations and various selectable difficulty levels, you can also build each character as you see fit, so the possibilities are nearly endless.

Side Quests Galore – Whether you love the rush of gambling at Lucky’s Casino, the sensation of adrenaline pumping through your gauntlet-covered veins as you stare down your opponents at Cecil’s Arena, or even the feeling of frantically racing your giant flightless bird to win first place, Last Dream is packed with gameplay enhancements.

Development

Our development team is comprised of people who deeply cherish the RPGs of our childhoods.

We began developing Last Dream to be the central element of our decades-running annual RPG Tournament among physics graduates. That is, we started with the sole desire to craft an enduring game that we would personally enjoy.

As Last Dream progressed and over 50 creative individuals became involved, we realized that other people might enjoy our game as well. Now, after investing thousands of collective hours in game development and testing, and after receiving such generous support from the Kickstarter and Steam communities (thank you!!), we present you with Last Dream - the first in a trilogy.

Holy crap, I did not expect such an amazing game! I haven't had this much fun with an rpg since I was a kid. I've never played an rpg maker game before and had reservations about trying a game that looked very cheap and generic to be honest but I'm really glad I did. What the game lacks in original art it more than makes up for in game play and sheer scope. It does what old snes rpgs did so well then improves on them in subtle ways like letting players choose what skills to pick and the option to distribute character stats. This features are so well implemented that it makes you wonder how come it's so rare to see them in jrpg games.

The story is a little weak, you play a silent protagonist and your party members are completely anonymous henchman that get mentioned I think once in the entire game. There's a sort of trade off; instead of a tight narrative that restricts where and what your character can do like a more tradtional final fantasy story does, by not focusing on your character at first it allows for a very open world and gives the player a tremondous amount of freedom for exploration, especially once they get off the first continent. But the story does tighten up, you do get pulled into it more and more the further you get and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the ending was and by how varied it is depending on how you played through the game.

I don't like puzzles much, but they're all %100 optional which is a really nice and I found myself going out of my way to finish them all because they were so much fun. I've done almost every puzzle in the game (over 50!) and only a handful had me quit out of frustration or had me running to the strategy guide.

There's an amazing developer made guide for free, a giant 700 page pdf, and for a game this massive and complex it's a very welcome addition especially if you're new to this genre because this game pulls no punches when it comes to dificulty. Hard mode is extremely dificult, I consider myself a veteran of snes rpgs and this game had no qualms about kicking my ♥♥♥ and forcing me to reconsider my gear and what skills I should use for each character.

Do you like that old school jrpg from the days of snes? Then you will probably like this. You get to chose 4 characters with different classes. The game has a good amount of side things to do too(more than most of the the good ole days games). It kind of goes open worldish eventually more so than the games of my youth. Ships, submarines, airships..chocobo..yep. Side quest, arena battles, monster hunting, casino...yep..its got them too. You can set to different difficulty settings and you can even set how you want the save game system to work. You want it hard old school where you can only save once in a while... you can do that. You want it so you can save anytime..yep you can set it like that too. This is the most fun I had on one of these "new" old games. Rpg maker it may be but it has so much in it those people must have really loved what they did and put a ton of time into it's creation. Heck I regret I got it in a humble bundle for so cheap I would pay more. Better believe I will gladly pay for the next one!

Well, here goes. My first ever steam review. I must say this game is like finding the old love that got away. If you liked the old final fantasy games and all the other rpg gems that came out in the SNES era you will like this game. It has that cozy feeling that i havent felt since i was a young boy sitting in my room playing SNES:) Bsides the feeling the game itself is really fun. There is fun grinding were u really notice the differnce when leveling up and choosing what skills to learn and were to put your stat points. The games world is also huge, i mean really huge with alot of towns and dungeons packed with fun puzzels that you often get a really nice reward from in form of gear or items. Then we have the music and story. The story is maybe not "the last of us" but it is what you expect and sure it draws you in. But the music is really good in this game, several times i just dropped my controller and juts listend:) Like good ol cain would have said: Stay awhile and listend! So do yourself a favour and buy this game if you have any love for oldschool rpg and also the developers deserves it:) Enjoy

I just wanted to say... as much as I love RPGMaker, Sturgeons law is usually in full effect - most titles are either mediocre or dull. I took a chance on this one, and I'm really glad I did. It's scratching an itch I didn't know I had in a great way. It's a great homage to the first Final Fantasy title with some nice new modern twists thrown in. Easily worth a few bucks, you'll have a great time cranking through it. Definitely recommended.

Simply put, a wonderful rpg that will raise your nostalgia level over 9000. With so many side quests and optional dungeons to explore, it's hard to imagine any turn based rpg enthusiast would ever get bored with this title.
